Beatrice the Biologist: Biology Doesn’t Support Gay Marriage Bans
When there’s such ravenous effort out there to classify marriage as only between a man and a woman, don’t you think we’d have a better definition of exactly what a “man” and a “woman” were? When you dig down into the alignments of and X and Y sex chromosomes, you come up with more gray area than black and white. Check out Beatrice’s full post for more.
Sex is not the binary system we think it is, and we can’t go around making rules about what people can and can’t do based on what anatomy happens to be between their legs. So on top of the fact that gay marriage bans are unconstitutional, unnecessary, and downright petty, they are also terribly unscientific.
